Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Red Carpet Premiere

The Hub are holding a special world-premiere screening for the first episode of Transformers Prime Season 3 - Beast Hunters. The premiere is being held on 14 March, the day before the network premiere of the episode, at the Globe Theatre in Universal Studios Hollywood.

To me he just looks strange there.
His arms look swollen, his feet look flat and he overall just looks WAY too bulky, specifically around his waist.
And not in a good way like FOC Prime.
I'm trying to base whether or not I think that toy Prime will appear on the show on how quality all the pics of it are, and this model looks really show-quality unlike the package art and other various images of it. I just hope that in the show he looks more like the toy than this pic.
Or at least if he looked like he had feet and arms that could move.
I like the chest design there more though. Except it should have the truck grill... D:

I don't think that Optimus is the CGI model. Looks kinda 2D-ish to me in some parts.

Concept art perhaps?

Nah, definitely a CGI model, an official one, too. If you study it for a while it possesses the quality of the actual show.

Hm. That's too bad.

Cuz it looks like shit. It reminds me of both WFC Optimus designs.

And that's a bad thing to be reminded of.

Digilaut

I agree it looks better than the toy - and his face looks like his regular one, not the toy one.
Still think the original design is way better, though.

Why is that a bad thing to be reminded of? Please explain.

14th is a week before....not a day before

unless premiere date changed

Due to the proportions the CGI model of Prime looks fat. Personally i've never liked the more 'beefy' Transformers such as WFC Prime either.

Also... noticing a major drop in detail on the CGI model. Granted it'll probably have more detailed added however it feels like they will kill off Optimus Prime just to bring him back in a newer model solely for giving the animators something easier to work with.

Who designed that thing Pat Lee?

I dunno WFC Optimus design is pretty sweet when drawn right.

But NOTHING could ever make his FOC design not look like a pile of shit.

Nerdicon

Theory: The Matrix downloads a dying Optimus INTO megatron, reformatting him into Optimus Prime. That's why we don't have much megatron related stuff in Beast Hunters media. (ignoring the instruction stories)

Why do you care that I find it a bad thing to be reminded of? Are you being defensive because somebody said something you don't like about something you like or are you going to genuily discuss character design with me?

Because if it's the first, and knowing the internet it totally is the first, I don't care enough to explain. I'll just say that I don't like it and leave it at that.

With drawn right you mean drawn differently from the in-game model I presume? Because in the game itself, which is what I played (Didn't read comics about the game) he looks like shit to me.

Well I was thinking when you normalise his proportions a bit so he ends up looking say like this:

Because yeah I have to agree that the game model looks like shit that's for sure, but then again EVERY character looked like shit in the game. Until I started reading RID I couldn't stand WFC/FOC designs but the way Andrew draws them made me loosen up a bit on them.

And even then I still think that Don Fig's War Within cybertronian designs are better...and that coming from a guy who doesn't like War Within and DW in general....and who thinks that Don Fig is overrated as fuck...

Wow Prime's new form looks terrible. Just bulked up with no proportion. Now it looks like his chest just connect right to his waist.

Optimus has been hitting the gym. Or the juice. Either or.

Thanks for sharing.

Kinda interesting how Hasbro is making TFP last season very public because until recently, it was well guarded secret.

So $10 to see a 22 minute episode. Doesn't seem like a value to me just to see it a few days early. Or is this a free showing?

OptimussSTAR

so I take it now they are keeping Optimus alive or is this just a gimmick to get the ones who wouldn't watch if they killed Optimus off, they need to make up their slagging minds.

The season's network premiere is now the 15th instead of the 22nd?

Apparently

Ampere

I don't hate Optimus' new design but it does look a little odd next to Megatron there in that image. It doesn't feel like the same TFP style I'm used to. Maybe it will look better once we finally see him all animated it won't seem as awkward.

Pikatron

Spoiler question for those who have seen the recent trailer.

So Prime is going to die and later be brought back to life as this bulkier, more badass-looking TFP: BH Prime?

I believe the premere's meant for a theater at LA. The actual premere on the Hub will air on the 22nd.

And here was I, hoping that for once Optimus would die and stay that way...No...Season hasn't even started yet, there's still the possibility...

Oh who am I kidding, Hasbro won't let him die. At least never permanently.

Jamocha101

Optimus's head looks unacceptably small on his new body.

See! OP didn't die, Smokescreen must've!

He dies for about half an episode!

Awesome. I am so there.

How long is this premier going to be? 22-minutes?! Or are they going to show the first four or so episodes, covering a small arc that sets up the beginning of the end?

While I welcome the idea of premiering the show to the public in a movie theater, it seems odd to do so for something less than 90 minutes of actual airtime.

Edit:

Anyone know where this picture comes from:

Looks like it came right out of the show to me...
